| The career of 14-time Grammy
Award winner Ricky Skaggs is among the most significant
in recent country music history. Among his many
statuettes and honors are 12 #1 hit singles, scores of
Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year
awards, International Bluegrass Association and Dove
awards, three honorary Doctorate degrees, induction into
the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, the Country Music Hall of
Fame and an Americana Music Association Lifetime
Achievement Award. And that’s just naming a few of his
distinctions. He was credited by Chet Atkins as
“single-handedly” saving country music from the
onslaught of 80s’ commercialization, leading the way in
the neo-traditional music movement. He is a true
virtuoso whose path has led him from bluegrass to
country and gospel, to deep roots mountain music. Skaggs and his award-winning band Kentucky Thunder return to the Spencer stage in a performance packed with his greatest hits, beautifully blended vocals and blazing fast instrumentals. The evening’s all-star lineup features Skaggs on mandolin, Paul Brewster (tenor vocals, rhythm guitar), Scott Mulvahill (bass, bass vocals), Russ Carson (banjo), Jake Workman (lead guitar), Mike Barnett (fiddle) and Dennis Parker (baritone vocals, guitar). |
